Drinking & Dragons

Wild:NPC/Do Deng

From Drinking and Dragons


Merchant who is blackmailing Bo's family. To summarize the key points:

  • Bo's son was without an heir, and secretly adopted a son.
  • The son was the child of one of Deng's consort's attendants sister, who is an attendant of So Seung.
  • Do Deng became aware of this and used it as leverage to blackmail Bo's son.
  • Since Deng had valuable interests on Garl, he agitated for independence from the Fan empire, and forced Bo's son to support him.
  • Theoretically, once Uncle Bob gains a hold over Deng, this influence will end.
